I have a lovely wallet with everything in its place. But when I travel light, all that organization seems to fall apart. My currency is stuffed in one pocket, credit cards in another. It’s just not elegant. That’s why CardNinja caught my eye. It’s a stretchy sleeve that sticks on the back of your phone or your phone case and can hold enough credit cards, money and IDs to eliminate any […]

It’s always been difficult for more than one person to gather ’round a mobile phone, so maybe on this Valentine’s Day it might be time to think about moving what’s on your mobile phone to your tablet for easier sharing with your beloved.

Kubi, meaning literally “neck” in Japanese, is the next big thing in telepresence. This attractively styled robotic stand from Revolve Robotics for camera-enabled tablets fits as nicely on a table at holiday dinners as it does at board meetings or in classrooms.

So imagine trudging for miles, often in the hot sun, lugging water for your community. Â And what if all you have is a gas can or bucket that may have been filled with toxic substances like paint or fuel. Â Not a healthy picture if you’re trying to transport clean […]

The other day a colleague sent me a gift card via Facebook for $5 to use at Sephora. Â How sweet! Â Well, yes, he’s the PR person for Wrapp.com but still, it’s a nice way for someone to stay in touch and even send out a little treat.
